So this is just SFV?

There's some Revelator going on right now if you interested in that.

Speaking of Xrd players at Evo, Jonio is streaming the Mikado Open (where quite a few of those listed jp players play). It's a double elimination singles tournament and likely the last bit of tournament practice before these players head to Evo. Should be a bit of a preview to what might come next weekend.

Currently it's streaming casuals but the tournament should start in not too long.

ITABASHI THO

Edit: It's gonna feel so good to watch EVO next week with hopefully no stream issues.

Humanbomb knocks Momochi. We are guaranteed a person winning a spot for Capcom Cup.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

Momochi, Haitani and Tokido all out. They were the most consistent in this game after Infiltration.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Chun's air legs just traded with Cammy's super. Didn't even know that could happen.

 

[Gr1mLock]

Poongko looks uncomfortable in this game.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Top 8

Winners:

HM Eita vs RZR Xian
Qanba Xiaohai vs RZR Fuudo

Losers:

DNG Itabashi Zangief vs GGP Kazunoko
Humanbomb vs HM Go1

Poongko looks uncomfortable in this game.

He beat Tokido and Bonchan and just barely lost to Go1. He's been getting a lot better imo.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

Fuudo will probably win this

 

[pixelish]

this is the first time tokido and haitani have not made top 8 in a cpt event

could someone here confirm if this is the first time a gief made top 8?

 

[lupinko]

Poongko looks uncomfortable in this game.

Poongko is also trying his hand at Tekken now.

Losers:

DNG Itabashi Zangief vs GGP Kazunoko
Humanbomb vs HM Go1

Exciting that we are going to get a new Capcom Cup entry.

Wonder if EVO follows same CPT rules.

 

[jett]

Tokido didn't make it huh. I predict Fuudo to win it.

 

[Hyun Sai]

Tokido didn't make it huh.

Dat Daigo Curse

 

[Immortal Technique]

Momochi, Haitani and Tokido all out. They were the most consistent in this game after Infiltration.

You could throw in Mago too, generally a lock for top 8. None of those guys made top 8 here.

Poongko leveling up! He played really well - was one missed input from being GO1 and making top 8.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I just saw Gamerbee's elimination match. My boy got Bonita'd

 

[skLaFarebear]

Exciting that we are going to get a new Capcom Cup entry.

Wonder if EVO follows same CPT rules.

A new Capcom Cup entry and a weird top 8 of characters. Besides the Ken and two Chun-lis, there's a FANG, Gief, Mika, and two Cammys. No Ryu, Nash, or Necalli.

Redbull Proving Grounds is on now - https://www.twitch.tv/canadacup I believe they're just waiting on the brackets to start the tourney.

G League is live.

 

[pixelish]

[Chase17]

Looks like a nice set up.

So winner of this gets a spot in the Capcom Cup right?

 

[Syntsui]

wtf am I watching.

 

[Chase17]

wtf am I watching.

esports

 

[RedEther]

C-pop girl group?

They're better than DJ Ipad

 

[TheChits]

 

[skLaFarebear]

Got out or work super late and some of the roads are closed so ill be home late. Hope im not missing too much.

 

[Chase17]

Did no one applaud lol

 

[Syntsui]

It seemed no one applauded nor cared, lol.

 

[pixelish]

Did no one applaud lol

i really hope that's because the stream isn't recording the crowd audio otherwise that's just sad lol

 

[The Lone Dragon]

Whoa, they really cranked up the "E-SPORTS" since the first two days.

Dancing Idol performances...huge stage...

I guess this event is a bigger deal than I thought.

 

[plasmawave]

Hoping for stable stream tonight.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Hoping for stable stream tonight.

We can only pray.

 

[Syntsui]

Eita looks too much like Mago.

 

[Hyun Sai]

We can only pray.

Pray harder, obviously lol

 

[The Lone Dragon]

Xian going in.

Not sure how much longer the "character unfamiliarity" excuse will be valid.

Soon we might have to just admit that F.A.N.G isn't as bad as people think...

 

[Hyun Sai]

Xian going in.

Funnily enough, people said the same about Ken ^^

So there is a Fang guaranteed Top 3 tonight.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Xiaohai was playing extremely well yesterday. Not surprised he beat Fuudo 3-1.

Xiaohai vs Xian is gonna be nuts though.

 

[Syntsui]

Xian going in.

FANG is a bad character.

It's Xian that is phenomenal. We even have a Zangief in this top 8,or are you going to say Zangief is not bad in this game?

 

[KidA Seven]

It is over. Xian stands no chance against Xiaohai.

Congrats Xiaohai. Always godlike in China.

 

[Tripon]

Xian beat Xiaohai last year at the Shanghai ranking event.

 

[RedEther]

Kazunoko pls

 

[KidA Seven]

Xian beat Xiaohai last year at the Shanghai ranking event.

Dude, that was a different game. Lol

 

[GorillaJu]

Itazan's Zangief is legit.

 

[Tripon]

Snakeeyes on notice.

 

[Syntsui]

Why didn't he CA those neutral jumps?
